Why do you cry when you know how the story ends?
FCG
How can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?
CGAm
We've all been there once, but you never left
FG
This is me coming back to get you out to say goodbye, to make amends
CGAm
I'm not leaving this place
FCG
Unless I'm leaving with you
CGAmEm
You're the only person with a half decent heart here
FG
And I know you will put it to use

Until it's gone, gone, gone

CGAm
So Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home
FCG
We had a heart-to-heart about life
CGAmEm
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves
FG
If we wanted to outlive that night
CGAm
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
FCG
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
CGAmEm
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
F(Single Strum) G
What a wonderful world this could be!

C(Single Strum) GAm
So, how many more examples until we break?
FCG
How many sacrifices must we make?
CG
We've all been there once before
AmEm
And it looks like we've returned once more
FG
So is this the beginning or the end?
C ('Palm Muted') G
The last two soldiers on the battlefield
Am
Survivors of the war
FCG
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
CG
"If you're listening, I'm missing him
AmEm
So somehow bring him home.
FG
How did it come to this?"
C(Single Strum) G
So the soldiers lift their rifles
Am
And they're aiming at the head
FCG
They think of their first love before they take their final breath
CGAmEm
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:
FG
"How did it come to this?"
